Florida State's Sweat out vs. South Florida with knee injury

Melina Vastola-USA TODAY Sports

Florida State will be without Josh Sweat versus South Florida on Saturday, as the standout defensive end will miss the contest with a knee injury.

Jimbo Fisher told reporters Thursday that Sweat will be out one-to-two weeks after meniscus surgery on his left knee. He suffered the injury in practice last week prior to the game against Louisville, but was able to play despite originally not making the trip with the team.

With Sweat on the sidelines, the Seminoles will likely rely on Jacob Pugh and Brian Burns to help slow the high-powered Bulls offense. Led by quarterback Quinton Flowers and a balanced rushing attack, South Florida is 3-0 on the season, outscoring their opponents by a combined 149-57.
